Just booked my flight and hotel reservations for Chicago!  So excited.  And nervous.

I’m really going to try and take pics of my whole trip but I don’t know how much cool stuff I’ll be doing.  Hopefully I’ll force myself to break out of my shell and go see the stuff you’re supposed to see.  I actually used to live in Chicago…well…in the suburbs.  And, I was 5 and we only lived there for a year and a half so I don’t know if that even counts.

The first part of the week, I’ll be staying at a boring hotel in the suburbs but the latter part of the week I’ll be staying at the Hilton Towers on Michigan Avenue.  It’s super swanky!  But hey, I got a good deal using my AAA card.  

There are over 1500 rooms!  I’m going to get lost.  Hopefully, I end up here:

I could use some tips on what to do with yourself for a week.  So far, all I’ll be doing is taking my classes during the day, eating, and hitting the gym.  
I love staying in hotels.  I know they freak some people out and it’s hard being out of your element for a few nights but I dig it.  I come home and my room is cleaned for me?  Someone made my bed?  Got me fresh towels?  ROOM SERVICE?  What’s not to love?
